Subject: Re: Custom method_missing doesn't trap super call

It doesn't work for me, with ruby 1.6.8 on Linux/i386 (Mandrake) and
Linux/PPC (gentoo).

Are we missing something?

Guillaume.


gus@mac gus $ ruby

class Base
        def method_missing(method, *args)
                puts "In method_missing: " + method.id2name
        end
end

class MyClass < Base
        def foobar()
                puts "In MyClass.foobar"
                super
        end
end

t = MyClass.new
t.baz()
t.foobar()
In method_missing: baz
In MyClass.foobar
-:11:in `foobar': super: no superclass method `foobar' (NameError)
        from -:17
